Is that right? Did you really say that?

I had a weeper yesterday. My husband finally told an old friend about my BC and his wife got on the phone, insisted on talking to me and burst into tears. So I was comforting her. I didn't really mind, she's a good woman, but a wee part of me was "really?!"

I do wish that when people strike up a conversation with me and realise that I'm going through chemo for breast cancer they wouldn't automatically tell me about everyone they've know who has died from it.  What do they expect me to say?  "Oh yeah, I know the chemo's not going to help but I've got nothing better to do before I drop off the perch."

hmmmm...yep.  Some people right?  Funny as, I just this minute got a text from a family member to tell me that Olivia Newton John's cancer is back after 25yrs! Like I hadn't heard.  Good lord help me.  I haven't responded to the text as I am not quite sure how to answer it,

It's obviously urgent then - you'd better get on your best mate, ONJ to commiserate.

When I  first started doing yoga, the yoga instructor told me that "bad posture" causes cancer because your bone marrow cannot produce red blood cells properly. My oncologist was very impressed.

Dear @Patti J  - OMG - what else can I say

When you tell someone the statistics about BRAC genes being passed from mother to daughter and they proceed to tell you that “oh you and your daughters have probably got it then!”
